I’m so so so excited to be partnering with Lou & Grey– a new branded collection from LOFT. There’s a LOFT just down the street from me in the city and I walk by it about four times a day. I pop in all the time to see what’s new, especially when the window displays catch my eye. The new Lou & Grey collection is absolutely amazing.
In one word: soft.
In two words: soft and comfortable.
In three words: soft and comfortable and chic.
Seriously, the dresses are perfect for walking the dog in the morning, working from home during the day, and running out to grab lunch with a friend. Weekend wear for the girls with 9-5 business suit jobs… and the best alternative to jeans/sweats for the college girl.
I bought a handful of the dresses and shirts yesterday and immediately changed into this striped drawstring dress. It’s been so hot and humid here that I never know what to wear and it was so comfortable for running around Soho!

Guess what! I’m going to be at the Lou & Grey concept store in Westport, CT (15 Main Street) this Thursday from 5-7pm and would love to shop with and meet you!
Anything that is soft, comfortable, and chic is right up my alley!! All the prints and styles look amazing (ahem stripes!). Thanks for introducing me to this new line!
All throughout high school I've dressed quite sloppily, but now that I'm about to start college, I want to revamp my wardrobe into something more mature/professional/smart[-casual], but I still want it to be comfortable enough so that it doesn't take too much effort to get dressed in the morning, otherwise I'd fall back into dressing like a hobo hahah. Anyways, thanks for introducing this, because boy do I need something soft&comfy&chic!!! -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey's
Not trying to be mean but Lou+Grey is not new. This may be a new collection from them but LOFT has been selling it for close to a year. In fact, I freaked out a little bit when I couldn't find their "lounge" leggings online only to realize later that they'd been re-branded.
My favorite clothes are from this line! I love the LOFT because they have petite and basically my entire closet is from there (bought on clearance because I'm in college)!
These are really nice! I like the chambray dress. I wonder how successful they'll be in competing with stores like Madewell who go after the same aesthetic. So far, I'd say they're doing pretty well–the rosy photographs are nice and I like the logo. It will be interesting to see where they go with it–I hope in time they'll be able to introduce some more structured pieces.
I have been calling myself a Chill Mom™️ since having Jack and now I’m realizing that I’m even chiller with Rory. (Like is birth order really less about sibling order and more about the version of mom you’re born to?) I’ve been just rolling with Rory’s infancy and I’m so much happier. Maybe it’s just that I’m more tired with a toddler too, or know that it’s going to go by so fast, or just have more confidence… probably a combination. I feel less obsessive and less stressed out by the details. I’m “making it” without having to fake it. As an example, today I noticed I hadn’t tracked a single nap- just watching sleepy cues and trying to get to a “good enough” pattern as Rory’s naps consolidate. Is he following a ~perfect~ nap schedule? No. Are we thriving? Frankly, yes!
(If you want to read my original Chill Mom post, comment “chill mom” and l’ll send it to you via DM!)
We came, we saw elephants, we ate ice cream 🐘🦒🦓 @ashleybrooke and I always talk about how we became FAST friends. Somehow we have been right there with each other during some of life’s worst moments… so it’s extra sweet that we now get to celebrate the good ones! Watching our boys play together, a little baby in a stroller, and another baby on the way… it’s everything we dreamed of.
Somehow yesterday felt like a week, last month was last year, and last year was a decade ago… but then time is simultaneously going by so fast too. The past ten weeks have gone by in a blink! Everyone warns you it goes by fast and they’re not wrong…. The days are long but oh how I wish time would slow down a bit? Or that maybe I could bottle up a tiny bit of these precious boys at every stage so I could revisit them down the road 🤍
I have grown to LOVE baby wearing. Not only do I think it’s such a nice and cozy way to bond with baby, it’s also incredibly practical, especially when you have a toddler to keep up with too! The @wildbird aerial carrier was a treat for myself- and I’m so obsessed with it. 👶🏼 Leave a comment “wildbird” and I’ll DM you the color I have as well as my personal review of it (including some troubleshooting tips).
Some top level things I like; - it’s easy to put on! - it’s so, so comfortable (for me AND baby!) - the little flap is seamless and provides extra support while baby naps and privacy when we need/want it
This affordable rechargeable LED lamp is cute and then made even cuter with this wicker lampshade! 💡✨ No cords needed- just charge and place wherever you want. (Will be extra perfect for dining outdoors this summer!) 💫 Comment “lamp” and I’ll send you links to the LED lamp ($38 for a pair!) and the lampshade (available in a few styles- including a darling blue).
Not really in the mood to be in photos right now, but I keep telling myself I’ll want to look back on these moments and remember them. (Right?!) when I look at these photos in 10, 20, 30 years…
I hope I remember Jack “rescuing” Rory from a windy tent, not how I stood in front of my closet with tears in my eyes.
I hope I remember watching Jack roll down hills and play hop scotch and scoot down the sidewalk with his besties, not that I caught a glimpse of my reflection and didn’t recognize myself.
I hope I remember sitting outside with my friend happily watching our kids play (while watching the minutes until bedtime tick by), and not that I spent too much time zooming in and examining every new wrinkle on my face.
I hope I remember the pure joy of these early warm days with my little family whom I love so much 🤍
The weather is warming up and I’m feeling slightly more comfortable in my skin every day ☀️ Here’s what I wore last week as a mom of two. I have a two and a half year old toddler and a two month old so I need outfits I feel good in, can chase a little guy around in, AND that I can breastfeed easily while wearing. 🔗 Leave a comment with “OUTFITS” to get links to every outfit I wore!
This room is so very special 🤍 The little cars sprinkled everywhere (watch your step!). A tiny sock, never two, peeled off and tucked somewhere hidden away. Piles of books that grow almost as quickly as the little boy who sleeps here. Outgrown pants and shoes to grow into mingling in the closet. Often messy, and a little cluttered, but a little boy lives here. 🚘☀️🐶📚🧸
(Rory is still in our room, but eventually the boys will share. I can picture their little twin beds already!)
